"Never let them take the light behind your eyes." -MCR


If I had another shot I would aim for success.

I was just a little girl, weaker than the rest.

If I could go back and take the pain away, 

I'd hold your hand all night and talk all day.

I would tell you how I felt about our situation,

About the love, hate, and objectification.

I'd give you a hand to help you up after you fall down.

I'd give you a smile because I hate to see you frown.

The day you left, I couldn't deal;

I spent the next 6 months wondering if it was real.

That night at your house, at 2 AM,

I broke down; I couldn't keep playing them.

Sometimes in life, things go wrong;

People go too soon and everyone acts strong.

The truth is I'd give it all up and go back to the start,

Give them a sign to let them know before it tears you apart.

My uncle died the summer of 2016. I was there when he died and I dropped the wall I normally keep up.
